Encyclopedia Judaica, Second Edition (21 Volume Set)

Orthodox Judaism

Looking for a good book on or about Orthodox Judaism?

Orthodox Judaism - now there's a funny term for you, because "orthodox" is a word of Greek origin. For this reason, some Orthodox Jews prefer to call themselves Torah Jews, or observant Jews, or shomrei mitzvot (keepers of commandments), or frum (which is at least a Yiddish word). And while Orthodoxy is not a movement in the same sense as the Reform, Conservative, or Reconstructionist movements - it doesn't have one central rabbinical seminary, synagogue organization, or rabbinical group, but many - in some ways, it is more of a movement than the others. That is, in the post-war years, and that war would be the second World War, Orthodoxy has grown both in numbers and intensity in America.
